  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS--ECHINAFORCE
At what age can children take Echinaforce? Children over the age of 6 can use Echinaforce. For those between 2 and 5 years of age, we would recommend Echinacea Junior. Is it true that you should only take Echianaforce for a few weeks at a time? Echinaforce can be taken long term if necessary. It does not over stimulate the immune system nor does it lose its effectiveness when taken over a period of time. If you are normally healthy, we recommend taking Echinaforce as and when it’s needed: at the first sign of a cold, or if you suddenly catch one. If however you tend to catch infections all winter, it is advisable to take 20 drops each day without a break. Are there any side effects when taking Echinaforce? Very few have ever been reported. However, Echinaforce is a member of the daisy family and people allergic to daisies may also have a problem with Echinaforce. Herbal medicines, as with all types of medication, don't always suit everyone. Can Echinaforce be taken with prescribed upper respiratory tract medication? Echinaforce can be taken with most medications, but if anyone is on prescribed medication they should inform their Doctor that they are taking a herbal remedy. Why do you use Echinacea purpurea? I was told angustofolia was better. Bioforce has studied many research papers on Echinacea and purpurea has been shown to be most effective in its actions. Can I take Echinacea with high blood pressure medication or blood thinning drugs such as Aspirin or Warfarin? Yes. There are no known contra-indications taking these drugs with Echinacea. We do, however, advise anyone on prescribed medication to inform their Doctor that they are taking a herbal medicine. Can I take Echinacea with the Pill? Yes. Echinacea’s main action is upon immune function and there are no indications that it has any effect on the hormones. Does it matter what I take my daily dose of Echinaforce in? I usually put it in my evening cup of tea. It doesn't really matter what liquid you put Echinaforce into, although I can't imagine it would do much for the taste of your tea! What matters is the amount of liquid that you put it into. A couple of ml is best - just a tiny amount so that the tincture can get through the membranes lining the mouth and throat really quickly and get to work as soon as possible in the bloodstream. If you dilute it in a cup of something, it will not have the same impact. |
